What is a Short Sale?

A Short Sale occurs when a financially insolvent homeowner who is facing foreclosure sells his home for less than the value of his loan.  The lender accepts the sale as payment in full for the loan.  This helps the homeowner to avoid foreclosure and the tremendous hit to their credit rating.  Short sales take time, attention to detail and an understanding of property owner and lender options.

For Sellers:

Your Short Sale & Foreclosure Specialist will begin asking you for documents, records, expenses and information necessary to complete the lender proposal.   The more information and communication, the better opportunity for results.
